| ok guys I called global trades for the windage adjustable back sight for my AK47 and the lady who answered said they MIGHT have some more in 6 to 8 weeks....if they order them again.....I want that sight anybody know where I can get one now?? my back sight now is good out to 1000m.....does it matter if you buy 1000m sight? or an 800m sight.....thanks guys |

Use sights that are calibrated for your caliber and barrel length. You cannot use sights that were calibrated for 5.45x39.5 in a 7.62x39 rifle and vice versa. Check with the vendor before you buy. It is easy to buy wrong calibration rear sights. Whether the vendors know the calibration is another question. I |
I got the same answer from Global when I called them about 6 weeks ago. I finally ended up finding the sight I wanted at a local gun show. I agree with Richard, if your rifle has an 800m sight, use an 800m windage adjustable and the same goes for a 1000m sight....

not sure on this, i have been told by a smith that the sights on 5.45 and 7.62 rifles are the same, the difference is in the gradient of the sight ramp |
|
This is a quote from this link world.guns.ru/assault/as02-e.htm Changing the gradient of the ramp surely would recalibrate the sight. Does anyone have more info on this? |
WA Arms Collectors gun show in Puyallup from a dealer that is a regular (sorry, don't remember his name). Prior to purchasing the 800m adjustable sight I did some research and found that quite a few places had the 1000m sight available including K-Var. The 800m was harder to find. If your rifle came with the 1000m sight, this should work... http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?productid=16251&cat=307&page=1 |
